BIG NO....for me ... I don't like the feel..the weight...the look...

It depends on the weight/fabric. I have some Linea ponte pants that are heavier and they look like really nice trousers. They don't look "knit" at all.

I have two pairs from Theory. I googled them and many brands are still selling them. Lots of high end brands too.

@Zhills

What’s that old axiom?

One’s woman’s trash is another woman’s ponte knit pants.

Always donate if you can.

I do. I wear them when I want to look a little dressier than my usual. I like their look.

I have some very nice Linea Ponte pants in both navy and black. I wear in fall and winter. They are slim leg and hit at my ankle. Perfect with boots. I can't ever imagine tossing them...they are timeless.

Like @santorini , I have some Linea ponte knit pants. I'll wear them in cooler weather, which won't happen around here for many months.

My Linea ponte pants are a work staple. I can use for more casual activities, but always look tailored and professional for work or dress. I've looked everywhere for comparable pants...no where to be found. The best....so functional and classic.

Is there a woman's aid network near you? We have the Women's Help Center here, I donate a lot of things to them, also to the YWCA for their second chance program. (Women re-entering the workforce). Other thoughts are those who have had a disaster, a fire, etc. . . If you are on Facebook there are often non-profit groups that need help.

They still sell these types of pants, also think of all the people in need of clothes.

During the fall and winter, yes.

I just bought a pair of NYDJ, recieved them yesterday, and real impressed with the look and feel. Why wouldn't you wear them?

I really, really despise the feel of ponte knit and avoid at all costs.

@Zhills I wear what makes ME happy as you should too! At one time I would never wear pull on pants but the older I get the more I appreciate their simplicity and comfort.

Since I had Covid my lifestyle has changed!

I lost 12 lbs so they not longer fit me like they should.

I have slowed down as I age and Covid gave "getting old" a swift push!!! No energy to go and do these days! I'm into comfortable and easy to care for!

I just bought some recently. I had no idea that they could be out of style? Looks like a classic trouser. Not in this super hot weather, but I'll be wearing them again in September.

Donate when you can. I try to always donate clothes unless they are very worn or damaged.

I absolutely still wear them since I don't consider them out of style. I don't understand why the question is even asked! If you don't feel good in them, then donate them. Otherwise, continue to wear whatever feels good on you!

I wear them and love them. They keep their shape and are dressy with little upkeep. I say keep them.
